Ingredients

• 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp Coconut oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Ginger, grated
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Chili flakes
• 0.25 cup Sugar-free ketchup
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
• 10 drops Liquid stevia (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
• 2 tbsp Water
• 0.5 tsp Xanthan gum
• 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Sauté the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar-free ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), liquid stevia, and water. Pour this mixture into the skillet.

Step 5

Bring the sauce to a simmer, then sprinkle the xanthan gum evenly over the sauce while whisking constantly to avoid clumps. Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Step 6

Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, tossing to coat the chicken evenly in the sauce. Let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you want it spicier, add a pinch more chili flakes.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
